- Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) has a local recurrence rate of about 20%, and the study aimed to find links between systemic inflammatory markers and the recurrence rate.
- The research involved 103 GCTB patients who had surgery from 1993 to 2021; 30 of them had local recurrences.
- The findings indicated that tumor site and treatment factors were linked to local recurrence-free survival, but the inflammatory markers tested (like NLR, mGPS, PNI) did not show significant correlations, suggesting a need for further research with more participants.
